Welcome

Welcome to Axbridge C of E Academy!

This school  has been on this site since 1849, when the land was gifted by the Marquis of Bath for the benefit of the local residents. Since then, the building has expanded in 1992 to include 6 classrooms and nursery provision for 2 -4 year olds, yet has stayed true to its vision of ensuring all of our children enjoy ‘a life in all its fullness’. In 2012,  as an Outstanding school , we academized, and then became a founding member of the Wessex Learning Trust, now one of the most successful MAT trusts in the South West.  At present we have 185 pupils within the main school and nursery. We are always welcoming of new starters and we are confident that once you have visited you’ll know why this school has such a positive and well-earned reputation.

We are committed to and passionate about your child’s development, in all its forms. Our latest OFSTED  celebrates the inclusive, caring environment, in which leaders are ambitious for everyone and children excel. However, we know that a child will thrive when they are understood and feel valued – this is core to what we do and something you will sense when visiting our school. As a Church of England School, we are proud of our Outstanding SIAMS rating, which recognises our commitment to the development of the whole child.

We are hugely proud of what we do in this school and this is reflected in the responses of the children, the families and the staff that work here. Our community is hugely supportive and dedicated to working together with us and we feel that this only enriches the opportunities and experiences our children enjoy. Furthermore, the extensive offer of clubs, activities and enrichment beyond the classroom ensures that every single one of of our children will find something to excel at during their time with us!

If you would like to see and hear more about our school, then please follow our Facebook page, Twitter feed and Instagram account, or keep up to date with school information via ClassDojo.

Many thanks for taking the time to view our website and please do not hesitate to make contact and arrange a visit, where I look forward to personally guiding you around and celebrating the special place, that is Axbridge C of E Academy.
